PCalcWhy spend money for a classy basic necessity when you can get the same thing for free? Arguments like that have a few holes, which may explain why we buy luxury cars.

Going from point A to point B takes the same time whether in a lowly Kia or expensive Lexus. But spend money for a calculator on your Mac when it’s free in OS X? Why? Why not?

I prefer allRPNCalc for my iPhone, myself. I can’t use a non-RPN calculator, and allRPNCalc has: scientific, trig, stat, conversiobs (including currency)m financial, and programming (hex, binary, etc) modes. It feels very smooth in operation and I like it.

For fancy graphing, I’m also using TouchPlot and Grafly, each of which has it’s strengths.

So for a total of $20, I have a solid RPN calculator plus two graphing packages that can handle any graphing task (including 3D) I can think of.
